A method and system are provided for operating an automatically guided container transport vehicle that can be automatically guided during forward driving and during rearward driving. The transport vehicle includes a towing vehicle and a trailer with a loading surface for at least one container. The transport vehicle has a vehicle control system for controlling a steering system and a travel drive of the transport vehicle in such a way that the transport vehicle follows a nominal route. The nominal route is automatically pre-defined taking into account a trajectory of the transport vehicle.

Method and system for operating an automatically guided transport vehicle for containers

A transportation vehicle for containers has a vehicle controller for automatically driving and controlling the speed of the transportation vehicle. The transportation vehicle includes a sensor apparatus for object identification, with the sensor apparatus interacting with the vehicle controller such that a movement region of the transportation vehicle can be ascertained. The transportation vehicle is configured to come to a standstill within the movement region by a braking process during a braking time, and that a movement region of an object that is identified by the sensor apparatus can be ascertained, with the object being moved within the movement region during the braking time of the transportation vehicle, so that the permissible speed of the transportation vehicle can be automatically reduced by the vehicle controller, and so that the two movement regions do not touch after the reduction in the permissible speed.
